Resilience to extreme (natural and man-made) events

Description
of call"Resilience to extreme (natural and man-made) events"

Extreme weather conditions, climate change, damages
to the infrastructure (caused by natural and man-made hazards) and traffic impediments negatively impact the reliability of
mobility solutions. Risk analysis, adaptation measures and strategies need to be developed that enable minimising the impact
of both natural and man-made extreme events on seamless transport operation, protect the users of the transport network in
case of extreme conditions, as well as provide optimal information to the operators and users of the transport infrastructure.

At least three legal entities. Each of the three must
be established in a different EU Member State or Horizon 2020 associated country. All three legal entities must be independent
of each other.
